From theforegoing it willbe seen that I] j after the woofs have been laid and place so that nothing has a p p o a stronger and smoother o I produced and one which ,has a more attractive appearance than fabric 5 Woven inthe old a I r I a .It is thought from the foregoing descrip- -tion that the advantagesand novel features willbe'readily apparent; f

It is to be understood that changes maybe uction and in the combinadeep teeth of, the pawl ratchet wheel to perpower ratchet wheel during certain movements thereof and =tobe disengaged therefrom isha'llow teeth for imparting an intermittent 'movement to the roll shaft, and oted to the frame and engaging fwheels to prevent reverse rotation thereof. g
